DVD Reviews of Drive-In Cult Classics - 8 Movie SetDVD Review: This really sux Summary: 1 Stars
I read the other reviews and expected a bunch of drive-in type movies from the 70s and 80s.. What I got was a bunch of worn out tired junk.
DVD Review: SUCKED!! Summary: 2 StarsI read the reviews on this title before buying it and they were all very good so I firuged hey for 3.99 I will buy these horror movies thinking that they would be old style blood bath type movies where teenagers are all getting killed at some point. I was wrong with that assumption, these movies show boobs but there is hardly any killing and when someone does die you don't know what the heck happened. Watching these movies is a waste of time, they aren't scary or interesting at all unless you just want to see girls take their tops off which I know some people do. I should have known that if they are giving your 8 movies for $4 that they are probably terrible movies, but again I went by the reviews so I must say that if you want boobs; buy these. If you want horror KEEP LOOKING it's not here!!!
DVD Review: Revisit the Seventies Summary: 4 StarsLet me begin this review by mentioning the earliest film of the eight included here, "Cindy & Donna."
Let me steer your attention to this forgotten gem from 1970, especially if your partial to redheads...wow.
Okay, onto the review:
Pickup:
The latest film of the batch, 1980's "The Pickup", almost seems as if it's from an ealier time, with it's voluptuous, mystical hippe chicks & mobile homes.
There is a very disconcerting scene involving a clown in a meadow, that seemed to drift in from another flick.
There's also a lot of nudity split between the two female leads.
The Sister in Law:
Despite the title, this film is excellent & well directed & acted.
The story absorbs you, and the ending is somewhat heartbreaking.
The Stepmother:
The male lead's accent is a bit distracting, but the story is quite interesting.
Murder, cover-ups, unfaithful partners...
And, of course, the tragic finale.
The Teacher:
Creepy stalkers driving about town in Hearses, Voyeuristic teenaged boys, dimwitted parents, clueless, seduced adolescents...
All of this, plus a kid falling off a twenty story building!
Trip with Teacher:
Zalman King, as the demented biker bad-boy, is the star of this show.
He & his somewhat reluctant brother, follow & capture a school bus of precocious female students.
Best Friends:
What do you do if you discover your best buddy is a sociopath, hell-bent on ruining your life?
Try & shoot him, of course (in your underwear...on the beach).
Cindy & Donna:
Cindy, Cindy, Cindy!
This isn't the Brady Bunch, as the teenaged daughters mirror the destructive ways of their parents.
This one features a "no rating" and within the first ten minutes, it's easy to understand why.
I dare you not to hum along to the "Cindy" theme song, played throughout this film!
Malibu High:
Almost as good as "Cindy & Donna."
Probablly better.
Ahhhhh, Cindy....
DVD Review: for drive-in b-movies, look no further Summary: 5 StarsSimply outstanding. "Malibu High" is easily one of the best b-movies on the planet. The entire purchase price worth it for this movie alone. The others are not as great, but still respectable 70s drive-in b-movie schlock. For preposterous bad acting and hilarious scripting, this is it.
DVD Review: Okay Not Great Summary: 2 StarsInteresting movies but not great. Acting is average to below average. Story line is fair. Video is okay. I find myself wanting to use the fast forward button in several situation due to the boring segments being shown. Probably great for drive in movies because everyone was making out and not watching the movie.
